Abstract: This submission explains the burden calculations for the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to include the benefit off-line storage and expungement activities contained in the final rule “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: 2008 Farm Bill Provisions on Clarification of Split Issuance; Accrual of Benefits and Definition Changes,” (85 FR 52025) which implements benefit issuance provisions of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110-234 (2008 Farm Bill) and the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, Public Law 115-334, (2018 Farm Bill). Both Farm Bills amended the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act), which includes benefit issuance, storage, and expiration requirements for administering the program. State agencies are responsible for issuing benefits to those households entitled to benefits under the Act. A subsequent interim final rule, titled “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): 2008 Farm Bill Provisions on Clarification of Split Issuance; Accrual of Benefits and Definition Changes: Delay of Implementation Date for Certain Provisions”, This included the provisions in 7 CFR 274.2(h) and 274.2(i)(1)-(3) regarding storage of benefits off-line and permanent expungement of unused benefits.
